Warm Saffron Semolina with Apple Wafers

A different take on the classic oat porridge, Semolina flavoured with piquant saffron is a great morning meal and best served with sweet apple slices and warm honey.

Serves 4

2 red apples, very thinly sliced

pinch saffron threads

2 cups unhomogenised organic milk

1½ tbsp ghee

¾ cup fine semolina

⅓ cup organic raw sugar

1 To make apple wafers, preheat oven to 150C (no fan). Put apple slices on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 40 minutes or until crisp and dry.

2 Meanwhile, heat saffron and milk in a small saucepan until just about to boil. Remove from heat and allow saffron to infuse for 5 minutes.

3 Melt ghee in a medium saucepan, add semolina and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until semolina is golden. Remove from heat. Whisk in saffron-infused milk, 3 cups hot water and 3 tbsp of the sugar. Return to heat and cook, stirring until semolina thickens.

4 Serve warm semolina with apple wafers and a little of the remaining sugar.

Note: if the semolina thickens quickly on standing, add a little extra milk or water and gently reheat.
